Now, it’s up to Governor Mary Fallin to decide whether to sign or veto this measure. Just like when other states have attempted to pass harmful legislation like SB 1140 that allows religion to be used to discriminate, prominent religious leaders, businesses, advocates, and celebrities are coming out in droves to urge the governor to veto the bill.

In particular, almost 80 Oklahoma faith leaders, congregations, and organizations have written a letter to Fallin asking her to veto the bill. These groups are standing up for real religious freedom in Oklahoma, and they write: “To argue that religious freedom justifies the use of taxpayer dollars to discriminate against children and prospective parents is a distortion of such freedom.” They are also joined by a diverse coalition of 41 national faith-based organizations—including everyone from African American Ministers In Action-Equal Justice Task Force to YATOM: The Jewish Foster & Adoption Network, Muslims for Progressive Values, and the National Coalition of American Nuns.

And here are just a few more of the prominent voices who are speaking out against SB 1140:

Last month I happily tweeted that none of the 120 anti-LGBT bills intro’d in state legislatures this year had passed. Oklahoma’s #SB1140 broke that streak. So many kids need loving homes. @GovMaryFallin think of them & use your veto https://t.co/eoK9ImBma8

Governor Fallin should listen to their voices and veto the bill. Religious freedom guarantees us the right to believe or not as we see fit, but it never includes the right to use your religion to harm or discriminate against others. Oklahoma should put children first—because state-funded agencies should not use religion as a justification to ignore the best interest of a child in need. If you’re from Oklahoma, you can add your voice too. We need you to speak up as soon as you can because the Governor could sign this bill any day now: send an email to Governor Fallin to urge her to veto this disgraceful bill!
